Suprised not to see any comments concerning the items in question.

I had the Triumph/DataTool EVO alarm system installed on my '01 Sprint ST prior to delivery and it has performed flawlessly is is completely world class. My experience with the DiGi and RevLight is another story.

First, the delaer charged for 5 hours labor when the distributor recommended 1-2 hours. Installation appeared to be flawless but the tech indicated a substantial amount of time was used to program ('attempt' may be a better word) the units as the instructions were not clear and a 'delay' in the DiGi displaying the lower gear positions couldn't be programmed out (could easily 'beat' the display).

To make a long story short, both units failed and have been returned to the distributor for evaluation (still awaiting word). Has anyone else had experience with either of these units? Would be interested in any and all comments.

Received refund from US distributor several days ago with no further explanation. Suspect they placed their name on substandard devices purchased elsewhere...

I'm not sure if you are still interested in the info about the DiGi gear products but I have a gear indicator on my ST and it works great. It was a pain to put in and get working but it works great. It took me about 5 hours to install then I had to ride to bike to get the chip to learn my bike. Ran throw two red lights because you can't stop once you get the system in the "learning" mode. Let me know if you want info on how it's done.

Thanks for the response.

1. Drilling one hole, attaching one adhesive backed velcro pad and soldering four connections is not 5 hours worth of work - 30 minutes to remove and reinstall the fairing.

2. You can believe me when I say I tried every possible programming variation; could never program out the 'delay' in registering the lower gear positions suggesting insufficient input signal amplification.

3. My experiences are fully outlined on the RiderStations website; presonal replies from DataTool and RiderStations stated my situation was 'normal'?

4. My unit failed completely leading me to believe my unit was faulty but RiderStations choose to refund rather than send a new unit leading me to believe I'm not the only one with a similar problem.

5. Received one e-mail from a Bandit 1200 owner with the exact same problem; we both came to the conclusion the unit was 'junk'. The RevLight worked properly until I ran the 'demo mode' per instructions then unit would never program properly afterwards - no real assistance from factory or distributor on this one either.

6. Would like to see similar (reliable) items factory installed on future Triumphs - are we being used as 'lab rats'?

7. Glad your device is working properly....

8. DataTool Evo Veto Alarm working flawlessly except for one 'quirk' noted recently when outside temperatures drop well below freezing: unit automatically sets 'motion detector' instead of manual activation; works properly at 32F or above.
